With every advance of emigration into the
far West, Il new demand is created for Hostel
tcr's Stomach Bitters. Newly peopled regions
are frequently less salubrious than older set
tied localities, on account of the miasma
which rises from recently cleared land, par
ticuarly along the banks of rivers that are
subject TO freshets. The agricultural or min
ing migrant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the only
sure protection against malaria, ana those

GAS IN ENGLAND.
From the sedslia Democrat.

There is something for American gas
companies to learn in the report of
UnitedS States Consul Schenhof, at Tun-
stall, England, but it will probably be
of more interest to gas consumers.
Consul Schenhof says that the gas
companies are now charging 70 cents
per 1000 feet in the great cities of Eng
land, and 524 cents in the smaller
places. He also states that the net cost
OF the gas in the metropolitan cities is
46 cents per 1000 feet, and in the small
or cities and towns SO cents. Present
prices of gas in England-70 cents in
the average-are but one-fifth of what
they were q number of years ago,
when the average price was 50 30 per
1000.
The consul further says that in spite
of this great reduction in the price of
gas the companies are prosperous, and
are paying good dividends, gas stocks
ranking among the best in England.
He q the reduction was brought
about by improvements in the process
of manufacture, ard prosperity was es-
tablished in the faceQf z by the largely
nQreased consumpt Z nsequent upon
tremendous ID ~ prices.

NAVY DEPARTMENT,
llth Ill, Fall In.

The National Encampment of the Grand
Army at st. Louis the last week in September
will afford one of the best opportunities ever
offered for the survivors of the Western armies
to meet once more with their old cOmrades-in-
arms. Already arrangements are being made
for company and regimental Reunions. The
Anthracite Coal Exchange of st. Louis have
generously rendered the use of their rooms, No.
8, ALI Pine street, to Col J. o. Churchill as
headquarters for the 1lth Ill. This regiment
signally distinguished itself at the battle OF
Fort DonelsOn, maintained its glorious repu-
tatiOn to the end of the war, and produced
many efficient officers for its own and other
organizations. Col. James III. Coates, its
fourth and only surviving Colonel, now lives in
st. Louis.
Scattered from Maine to California and from
Mexico to Manitoba, with the commands of the
lamented Ransom amid the SHOWS and darkness
of Doneson, still ringing in their ears, the vet
Grams will once more" Fall in, 1lth H."
Address Coils. Coates or Churchill at head
quarters for further information, and send
postofiice address of all known to be living.

Torn To Pieces by Bloodbopnds.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: During my
prison life which extended over some nine
months and gave me an inside view of at least
seven different pens, including four weeks in
Charleston Jail yard, the most God forsaken
hole in 1864 that America could boast, COM
rade by the name of r. f. Parker who enjoyed
the shade of an old rebel cavalry blanket with
III. r. Chase and myself, jumped from the cars
as we were being transferred to Columbia.
Chase went with him, aud both were picked up
near the railroad bridge over the COngaree
River. Watching closely for a chance to escape
the guard. just at daylight the OppOrtune mo-
ment came. and each struck out for liberty
BloOdhOunds were soon on their track. Follow
ing Parker into the jungle ON the margin Of
the river, they soon. by their fierce bowls, gave
Chase to know that Parker was overtaken,
which proved true; and so, in sight of his faith
full comrade, as brave soldier as ever bore
the flag or marched under its folds was liter
ally torn to pieces, so much so that be lived
but short time after being brought to Column
bia.
Up to this time we had never been separated;
the trio We're mutually one. The long, weary,
dark days that seemingly would never end,
were saddened by this cruel death Of one of Us.
To this day it brings pang of sorrow when I
think back to those days when the blood stained
footprints of Comrade Parker marked his way
to COlumbia.-J. 5. DRENAN, Second Lieuten-

First In Ppfershnrr-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I think the
first man to enter Petersburg was Lieut.
Eliwood GriscOm, of Co. Z, 10Th N. j. His
father, mother and sister lived in Petersburg,
and were there during the whole time our army
was laying siege to it, He also had two broth
ers in the Confederate army. They were not
Southern-bCrn, but were formerly from New
Jersey and moved South several years before
the war.
Lieut.. GriscOm was brave officer, and IA
vOrite with the whole regiment. Before he was
promoted to Lieutenant he was color bearer,
and there was no better in the whole army In
one of the battles at Hatcher's Run he was first
on the enemy's works. his brother being on the
opposite side at the battle.
As soon as our forces broke the rebel lines in
front of Petersburg Lieut.. Griscom came to me
and asked me if / could get him pass TO go
into Petersburg. so that he might see if his
father, mother and sister were living. I went
to Gen. Smyth, who commanded our brigade
and told him the circumstances of the case. He
told me that he could not get pass for Lieut..
GriscOm, but would give him a large envelope,
marked "Ottcial Business" and be might see
if he could get into town with it. Our Adiu-
tant loaned him his horse and Griscom rode
into the city without being stopped. On enter
ing there was not a soldier to be seen anywhere.
He found his father, mother and sister safe. He
secured some provisions for them babe them
gOOd-by, and rejOined the regiment. So we
claim that Lieut. GriscOm was the first of our
army TO enter Petersburg.-H +. CHEW, Lieu
